for all your letter needs. if it would be transported by owl, then it would be here. send each other owl posts by posting on another's thread. each character can have one owl thread.

The magic starts here, even at the entrance of Hogwarts. Right from the Hogwarts Express, students are transported to a very fascinating and also very safe environment to learn and grow in. You may go out on the fields and have a bit of a Quidditch match or fly around solo. Popular places to hang out such as the Green Houses and murky lake are also found here. Hagrid's class is right before you hit the Forbidden Forest, which, you can imagine, is forbidden to students.

Home to the most majestic gathering place around, the ground floor area consists of about four places: the Great Hall, a place to eat and socialize with friends, the Staff Room, the Broom Cupboards, and the mysterious Classroom Eleven.

Here you will find mostly classrooms such as Transfiguration, DADA, Muggle Studies, and the History of Magic. Another portion of the first corridor is dedicated to the hospital wing

You'll find a lot of empty classrooms and bathrooms on this floor. It's said to be haunted by a ghost by the name of Moaning Myrtle, a girl killed there decades ago. They even nicknamed it "Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom" because she's in it so frequently. And a secret chamber may be lying there as well...

Only the Charms and Art rooms can be found here.

It's the more strategic floor of the school. For example, Arithmancy and Wandless Magic's classrooms reside here. A little farther down is the bountiful library full of references and books. It's nearly impossible to get through in all seven years! Lastly, hidden in the crevice, is the Mirror of Erised room.

Here lies Ancient Runes and the Prefect Bathrooms!

The tallest portion of the castle, home to Divinations, the Room of Requirement, Owlery, and Astronomy Tower!

The spooky underneath of the castle. Here you'll find the Potions classroom and the Kitchens where the house elves are busily working to make food for the Great Hall feasts.

Every wizard's needs are met here. It's home to shops such as Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes, Florish and Blotts, Ollivanders, Madam Malkin's, Magical Menagerie, Quality Quidditch Supplies, Cauldron Shop, and Stationers. If you're tired from all the shopping, you can take a seat at the Leaky Cauldron or Florean Fortescue's. If your broke and looking to pull some money out, go to the trusted Gringotts Bank.

The village for wizards and witches. You can shop at Honeydukes, Madam Puddifoot's, Dervish and Banges, or Zonko's Joke Shop. For dining, there is the Three Broomsticks, and for a hard drink, just go to Hogs Head. Don't go to the Shrieking Shack, though. That place is definitely haunted.

You must find that telephone booth...

The wizarding hospital.

Enter the House of Black.

It houses both wizard families and unsuspecting Muggles.

The most horrible wizard prison in the world.

The luxurious home of the Malfoy family. Also the most frequent spot for Death Eater meetings.

Everything that happened to your characters before September 2001 you can write out in this forum if you so choose.
